Coinbase's stock craters to new lows after earnings disappointment, banks slash price targets by fintechfrank

Yesterday, the crypto exchange reported earnings that fell short of Wall Street’s expectationsCrypto exchange Coinbase saw its shares drop by more than 20% Wednesday morning, a day after the company released earnings that revealed a declining user base and hefty expenses for the first quarter of 2022.

Its first-quarter earnings revealed mounting expenses for the firm, which translated into a net loss of $430 million. The firm's revenues fell to $1.17 billion, missing Wall Street's target of about $1.5 billion. Investment analysts aren't convinced with Goldman and JPMorgan slashing their price targets to $171 and $80, respectively.

In a conversation with The Block post-earnings, executives from the company noted that it was a"good quarter for the business, but the macro environment weighed on financials." "What I am telling folks every day is, well, they haven't come down yet," he said."I think the fee compression concern is overblown but it is one of the biggest concerns."
